Brindo dijo un albañil
Por el cemento y la plana,
Por la Rosa y por la Juana
Que me enseñan el perfil.
Yo brindo por el gramil
Y el martillo carpintero,
por Chile me juego entero
Enmurallando con brillo,
A los momios y los pillos
Yo les clausuro el a'ujero.
Siempre levanté palacios
Y viviendas pa'los ricos
Mientras después del trabajo
Descansaba en conventillos.
Ahora son tiempos nuevos
Que andan a nuestro favor,
Avanza la clase obrera
Y avanza la construcción.
Me mandaron construir
Una casa, una escuela, un camino,
Para que haya más justicia
Corripiando mi destino.
A lo largo de Chile
Carpintero, estucador,
Concretero, escafador,
Albañil y enfierrador;
Y estucado con ají
Volando en los andamiajes
Parando los tijerales.
¡'Tas que me siento flor
Caramba en la construcción!
